If there's anyone on this list planning to attend the Marxism 2000 conference in Amherst later this year, I was thinking of getting together a focus group on the Asia/Eurokeiretsu. Topics might include how the keiretsu are reorganizing capital markets, the role of the euro, and what types of multinational class struggle might be possible in a world-system run by Daimler and Mitsubishi. If anyone's game, email me off list, OK?
